Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Taking the child to the library can be a positive start to the reading experience. It is best to let the librarian recommend books that will be appropriate for the child, but to let the child choose from the recommended materials. Set an example by reading instead of watching TV while the child is not in bed. Reading to the child is a valuable parentchild activity that can expose the child to classic works that are beyond the child's present reading ability.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
Electrocardiographi c monitoring is important for the child who has suffered an electrical burn because it can identify cardiac arrhythmias, which can be noted for up to 72 hours after a burn injury. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy and xenon ventilation-perfusion scanning may be ordered to evaluate inhalation injury, not an electrical burn. Pulse oximetry is used to evaluate pulmonary status and would not be indicated in the case of an electrical burn.
